[Remuthra]

Yep. Time to warm up the fanatic gloves.

[Ross Vernal]

Need confirmation: will Myrln get his Hand if he goes out and kills a few people? Or is it a more chancy thing than that?
Or am I confusing something again?

The best answer I can give is "Why don't you go find out?"

It's not like Myrln would give a shit about anyone who isn't above him, his friend, or him.

[Xantalos]

Well, time to become Jack the Ripper go have some good Winter fun.

[Ross Vernal]

Oh hey, I discovered more artifacts and relics.

Darshendros' Talon: Exactly what it sounds like. It's a powerful, sentient token that wants nothing more than misery for the world.

Warp Gate: It's a door to anywhere. Only limit is that you can't take it with you.

Caribia's Skull: The skull of a dead god. Invaluable for necromancy.

Decarian Torques: Only seen on the Infinite Legionaries of high rank. Nobody really knows anything about this, but it seems to be combat-related.

Orb of Truth: This orb allows you to see the deep truth of all. It can force honesty, etc.

Golden Scales: Aside from having perfect measurement, the Scales measure the power of items as well as weight.

Tome of the Planes: Not just a book, but THE book. This is a complete listing of all of the Ways, in both the material plane, reflective, ascendant, descendant, and even the aether itself.

The Salmon: Possibly the most chaotic weapon in the world, the Salmon is, in fact, a live salmon with mystical powers.

Todesengel: A 48" black rapier used by Mingan, Todesengel is enchanted with powerful ice magic. The blade itself is reputed to be a temperature of absolute zero.

Seelenova: A claymore made of light and shadow with powers over both domains. It is fueled by the blood of the user - the more powerful their magic, the more powerful the weapon.

Malefactus: The counterpart to Seelenova, but shorter and more towards shadow than light.

Ishikiri's Robe: The tattered and bloodstained robe of Mingan's Defender of the Faith from before the War of the Gods, Ishikiri's Robe grants its follower supernatural physical abilities, as well as keeping its owner from a violent death - once.

Wavedancer: A cutlass used by Pellegrin, the Wavedancer grants its wielder partial control over the weather, as well as the ability to breathe underwater. It appears to be shaped like a cresting wave.

[Remuthra]

Orb of Truth: This orb allows you to see the deep truth of all. It can force honesty, etc.

Need.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Ross, can I choose what kind of half demon Tarana is (without character finding it because I like it that way more) and choose a feat and possibly a level based on that?
If so, are there any limitations in choice of a demon?

Also, Is it possible that Tarana and Arana know each other from adventurer training?

[Ross Vernal]

I wonder what Thales would do with that.

If I were to have a character, I'd want the Tome. Road map to the back roads and secret passages of the universe? Yes please. Leave Garrison at 8, take a quick jaunt through the Eternal Corridor of the Ascendant Plane, and pop out at a tavern in Vernal Castle at 8:15. Sure beats fortnights on horseback.

By the way: teleportation is like higher math. Complex, many factors, lots of time, and most people can't do it. There are some long-standing portals, but they have limits, like "no more than 1 person weighing less than 150 lbs, buck naked" or something.

Yes to all.

[Gamerlord]

I want those Artifacts of Mingan. Oh how awesome Morgred would look...

[Xantalos]

I want that Tome of the Planes.

[Ross Vernal]

A hooded figure in a tattered cloak, reeking of stale death and fish, red eyes glowing with malevolence from the defiled skull of a dead God; in its hands, a luminescent, shimmering salmon with eyes that hold the universe.

[Gamerlord]

For some reason that reminds me of Sheogorath from TES.

[Xanmyral]

Holding a fish to assault people? Yeah, that sounds like Sheogorath.

Ross, questions.

Since combat will be my bread and butter here, can you describe the process more in depth? What all contributes to your chance to hit? How much damage you do? I recall you mentioning that by being descriptive and specific with your blows, you can get a bonus.

Is there a difference between a level five mage swinging a sword and a level five warrior swinging a sword, either in damage, defense, or accuracy?

[Ross Vernal]

I should write Beta Party, but I need to finish the first encounter profiles. Expect Dominated humans, dark elves, and critters. There's some stormcasters, but most are melee classes.

Exactly that. If you write, say...

He raised his sword, and exchanged blows with his opponent, neither backing down until by silent, mutual consent, they parted and stalked counterclockwise, studying each other for weaknesses. He stepped close and slashed high, only for his blade to be parried low. Seeing his chance, the man angled his arm and thrust forward with all his might at his opponent, instinctively lowering his head as he did.

You'd get either a good or the full bonus.

World of difference. A fifth level swordsman is Olympic level. Warrior is close to it. Pretty much, the higher the level, the higher the bonus. You know things and have experience. Once you've  passed a certain point (5, specifically) you get a reroll of any natural 1. Past 7,  you can't be natural 1'd by anyone lower than you in that field.

Call it lolno.

[Xanmyral]

Ooh, can't wait.

Hm, I think I can get the descriptive bonuses although it may be crude the first time around until I get the hang of it. I think I got a good idea however, but never know until it comes to it actually being done though.

So from the sounds of it, specific is better but more specific. Seems like the warrior may not be on the swordsman's level of swordsmanship, but at the same time he can pick up other stuff and use it similarly while if the swordsman were to pick up, say a spear, he'd suffer due to his specialization.

Thanks for the answers Ross, greatly appreciated. And makes me wonder if I should go from warrior to Hammerer or something blunt related with Jewel, considering he might not use other weapons due to RP reasons. Then again, being flexible in combat can sometimes trump specialization...

As a random note, seeing all of these non-bludgeoning artifact weapons is just making me more and more thankful for Jewel's virtue.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Also, Is it possible that Tarana and Arana know each other from adventurer training?

Just send wolfchild a pm.


@myral
I don't think a bonus against cutting dmg will help much against enchanted artifacts. 

I wonder what Thales would do with that.

It might calm him down a bit.
--Well, after the initial freakout/bloodletting



Well that was a fun update, wrapped up quickly enough- did you guys have to turn in any of those quests? 


Oi, we should agree on the universally-accepted greeting.
Handshake, bow, salute of some kind, a little jig, whistling number, face-touching, etc what should be the common introductory greeting?
